Patent GB-2327057-A (GB)
Title: Pole turning apparatus
Inventor: SAMPLE WALTER SNAITH
IPC: B25B13/52
Filed: 1997-07-08
Abstract: When installing new telegraph poles, to rotate a vertical pole 24 in order to align the cross-arm insulators on the pole with those of adjacent poles, a strap device is used. A strap 10 connected near an end of a telescopic arm 4 of the device is placed around the circumference of the telegraph pole 24, and the free end of the strap 10 is threaded through the inside of a bracket 12 and pulled tight around the pole. Arm 4 is then held in an approximately horizontal position with a plate 8 trapping the free end of the strap 10 against pole 24. Arm rotated to rotate the telegraph pole 24.
Patent GB-2327699-A (GB)
Title: A sealing strip which is longitudinally compressed to match the curves of its aperture before mounting.
Inventor: GREVEN HELMUT
IPC: B60J10/08
Filed: 1997-07-25
Abstract: A sealing strip, such as for fitting to the frame of a door opening in a motor vehicle body, comprises a longitudinally extending channel-shaped mounting portion 8 incorporating a channel-shaped reinforcing carrier 20. A hollow tubular longitudinally extending sealing portion 10 is attached to the outside of the mounting portion 8. When such a strip is bent to follow curves in the door frame, the increased tension in the mounting portion 8 at the curves may cause the sealing portion 10 to move inwardly of the curve into the position shown in the dotted line. In order to avoid this, the sealing strip, and particularly the mounting portion 8, is longitudinally compressed at positions corresponding to the positions where curves are to be formed in the strip. This local longitudinal compression helps to maintain the sealing portion 10 in its correct attitude.

Title: Pre-machined window for use in drilling lateral boreholes
Inventor: LARSEN ARNE
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 1997-08-13
Abstract: A pre-machined window is disclosed for use in drilling lateral boreholes. The invention comprises a casing 10, where the casing is 'pre-machined' above ground by either, weakening an area of the casing defining the outline of a window 12 leaving the centre portion 14 intact, or by fully forming an aperture in the casing and filling the aperture with for example an easily disintegrateable material. Weakening the casing can be done for example by machining a groove 12 or by drilling a series of holes (see figure 2) in the casing. Once the casing is positioned downhole the centre portion of the window 14 can be removed by a downhole milling tool (also disclosed, see figure 14). A lug can be positioned on the inside of the centre portion of the window to help the milling tool locate the window and to aid removal of the centre portion. Various methods of sealing the junction at the window and the lateral borehole are also disclosed (see figures 4 to 11).

Patent GB-2336677-A (GB)
Title: A method of processing seismic data signals
Inventor: SONNELAND LARS
IPC: G01V1/28
Filed: 1998-02-18
Abstract: A method is disclosed for characterising the subsurface levels of the Earth with a greater degree of accuracy than hitherto. Seismic data samples are migrated and stacked, for example according to known techniques and then spectrum analysed. The spectral analysis is applied to a feature of the subsurface and, for example, a particular layer bounded by a pair of horizons would be subject to volume reflection spectral analysis. The analysis is carried out using an orthogonal base by defining the reflection signals in terms of coefficients to a set of orthogonal polynomials. Additional seismic characteristics or attributes may be directly calculated from the polynomial coefficients. These coefficients represent the characteristics of the layer to a high degree of accuracy and may be compared with spectra derived a priori (for example synthetic spectra or previously characterised spectra) to further assist in analysis of measured seismic data.
Patent GB-2356048-A (GB)
Title: Acoustic on-line condition monitoring of a machine part
Inventor: SHARP PETER EDWARD
IPC: G01N29/07
Filed: 1999-08-18
Abstract: A method of on-line condition monitoring of a moving machine part is described, comprising the steps of beaming an impulse of energy onto, and/or into and/or across the moving machine part at predetermined time intervals, detecting either or both of the resulting transmitted or reflected energy, and interpreting the state of the part from a study of signals derived from the detected energy. Typically the energy is ultrasound, and the method is especially useful in relation to monitoring the state of gearwheels in gear boxes. Apparatus for performing the method typically comprises at least one transmitter probe for directing bursts of energy at the moving part which probe is mounted on an assembly which allows adjustment in azimuth and pitch of the probe and at least one receiver probe for detecting energy reflected from or transmitted by the said moving part. Typically the probes are immersed in a fluid which also surrounds the moving part. Advantageously, there is provided means for directing fluid at the moving part and the transmitter probe is directed into the stream of fluid, and the stream of fluid serves as a waveguide. Two or more detectors may be provided for receiving different energies from one or more moving parts under investigation such as for example reflected and transmitted energies from one moving part.

Title: Operations on a relational database upon completion of a transaction by an object-oriented system
Inventor: SALO TIMO JUHANI
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 1999-11-22
Abstract: To order automatically a transaction performed on a relational database system 100 by an object-oriented transaction system 120, the objects in a completed transaction are clustered into groups of objects to be inserted into the relational database, objects to be deleted from the relational database and objects to be updated in the relational database. The objects to be inserted into the relational database are ordered according to an insert precedence of the objects into the relational database to thereby define an insert order. The objects to be deleted from the relational database are ordered according to a delete precedence of the objects from the relational database are ordered according to a delete precedence of the objects from the relational database to thereby define a delete order. The objects to be inserted into the relational database are inserted into the relational database in the insert order. Then, the objects to be updated in the relational database are updated in an arbitrary order. Finally, the objects to be deleted from the relational database are deleted from the relational database in the delete order.

Title: Automatic completion of data in a data entry field using prepended text
Inventor: HUGHES JEREMY
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 1999-12-07
Abstract: Improvements to type-ahead automatic completion of data strings entered in a data entry field are provided. The automatic completion includes prepended auto-completed zones, as well as appended zones in appropriate cases. If a matching candidate data string in memory includes a partial string which matches the user entered partial string and includes a prepended portion, then the type-ahead auto-completion includes displaying the prepended zone. There may be a number of auto-completed zones, all preferably displayed in a distinctive style which differs from the user-typed partial string. The typed string is not required to match the beginning of a stored candidate string, since a typed partial string is compared with a plurality of partial strings within each stored candidate string until a match is identified. The invention may be implemented in many different computer programs.
